Chris Peterson: a great journalist and a good companion

I am glad I met Chris Peterson while Reuters was still Reuters.

We shared nights, Indian takeaway included, at 85 Fleet Street and days at 101 rue de Réaumur at the beginning and probably the best and most exciting years of Reuters Franco-British operation in Paris in the 80s.

Chris was a great journalist and a good companion for the long hours in the office or reporting and also for the lunches at Les Frères. Working lunches of course.
